Individual therapy sessions can be delivered in the acute environment. The EDAPTS intervention showed some promise on outcomes of distress and self-efficacy. Delivery of nurse-led groups was challenging and may need to be embedded into routine clinical practice to increase intervention and outcome reach. More parameters, for example, randomization at cluster level, should be tested before progressing to an adequately powered, single-blind, definitive cluster RCT.
